Lots of ideas :P

Maybe as long as the money comes from another players pockets and money isn't generated from no where, but then why do you need a script for this? Create an agreement using the VC Courts section saying that if your property is damaged all items or their moneys worth will be paid by the insurer. Easy.

This. Insurance company does not need additional script support.

This seems like a good way of introducing some form of script support for the firefighter role.
It has been waiting for far too long. This could be quite a straightforward way of getting multiple different players involved in one situation - we have the criminal triggering the scene, relying on the police to respond. The firefighter then becomes vital and property owners are likely to join the RP.


It's a real shame that people always want to go on the offensive in these forums. Rather than trying to throw in as many 'I am better than you' superiority undertones, we can just talk about these ideas in a decent way.

None of us can really shout at someone for bringing up the point about script abuse.
In fact, it's a very valid post mostly because we have seen it happen time and time again. If a group of players join together when the server's empty, 2 as firefighters, 1 as the fire starter and maybe another couple as police they can easily control the situation as they like.

Now some people have talked about safeguards, such as the owner of any property being online at the time or even needing over say... 15 people to be in the server. While this would curb the script, it may still work out to give the best end result.

Hopefully this will bring the greatest enjoyment for all.
I don't know if you have by now realised, but a number of people are being very hypocritical regarding some of these ideas.

You put down the idea for implementing new vehicles like the Skimmer plane because it could be abused in certain situations and because it might need extra rules/script protection. But funnily enough you are trying to propose the fire system idea on virtually the same grounds.

A player began by suggesting that the plane be added for everyone's enjoyment, for general RP - nothing wrong with that.
This was right away shot down as certain restrictions may hypothetically be added. We have historically always had restricted vehicles, skins, script abilities and more. Hunter chases were a lot of fun, but everyone agreed that it shouldn't be over used.
Someone else argued that the plane shouldn't be added at all because you won't be able to use it most of the time. This is false, unless you planned on being a cop (based on player 1's idea) all of your time.


It seems like we just look too closely at who's doing the posting, rather than considering the merits of the idea.

Let's make our server a place where most players can go and have fun and just think about enjoyment, rather than having to constantly worry about the anti-features.

Never has there been a car in VC:MP that is or has been restricted from players simply because 1) they commited a crime 2) they're playing as a cop chasing down criminals.

We will not remove any of the current vehicles or change model of a vehicle in the server to add a skimmer, that eventually would be bought by 1-2 people.


Bringing up the point of script abuse without anything else is just whining and nothing more.

You're scared of abusing? Give a solution instead of whining about it.

No one has actually come up with a valid way to abuse this idea.
